Tennessee Promise students need to
complete the financial aid application called FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid) as part of the scholarship program. Volunteer State
Community College will have help available for students and families on
Saturday, January 7 from 10 a.m. to 1p.m. TN Promise students will be able to
receive assistance in completing their FAFSA and apply for admission to Vol
State. Refreshments will be provided. The sessions will be held at the Gallatin
Campus and the Cookeville Higher Education Center (CHEC). Livingston and
Highland Crest students are encouraged to travel to Cookeville or Gallatin for
the event. A reservation is recommended and can be completed online at www.volstate.edu/promise. Exact
information about times and locations can be found on that page.

Students should be sure to bring the student and parent social security numbers;
student driver's license or ID card; and student and parent 2015 tax
returns (and spouse if married) and W-2 forms. If the student is not a
citizen they should bring an alien registration number or permanent resident card
(Green Card). Additional items that will be needed are any 2015 untaxed
income information, such as child support; the current balance of cash,
savings, and checking accounts (amount only); and the current net worth of
student (and spouse's) business and investments.

Students and parents will need to
obtain a FSA ID before they attend the event. That can be accomplished at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. For more information contact the Office of
Financial Aid at 615-230-3456.

The Financial Aid Office in Gallatin has moved to the Ramer Building, room 132. It's down a hallway just off the Ramer Lobby. Up until recently they were located in the Wood Campus Center. The new location in the Ramer Building is nicer and roomier. Be sure to tell your fellow classmates about the move.
